EQ'PECIFICATIONA'forming part of Letters Patent No. 385,514, dated July3, 1888.

Application iilcd October l-l, 18S?. Serial No. 253,163. (No model.)

To @ZZ who/1t il; may concern:

Beit known that I, BENJAMiN G. HAsKELr., of Boston, in the county ofSuti'olk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Interlocking Swivel Standards and Lasts, of whichthe following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved standard adapted to be used fordiiierent sized iron [e lasts in the manufacture or repairof boots andshoes.

The object of my invention is to facilitate the repairing of boots andshoes. X'Vhen nails are used to fasten the sole, an iron last must I5necessarily be used.

Ot' the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side View of my inventioncomplete, with the last in position. Fig. 2 is a view of my inventionwith the last removed. Fig. 3 is a 2o top view oi' the iron flange. Fig.et is a bottom view ofthe last G removed from the standard, and showsthe slot which receives lhe pin. Fig. 5 is a side view of the last, andshows the projection O which iits the slots in the iron cap. Fig. G is asectional view of a modied form ofthe cap E and manner of seeuringthesame to the standard A.

A is the standard, preferably made of ash; but it ina-y be made ot' anysuitable material.

B is a pin driven into the standard which supports the last in positionand on which it revolves.

E is the solid iron cap with a raised llange, in which b b represent theslots.

I) is the central opening in the cap which receives the pin I; but thestandard and cap may be made of a single piece of metal. This iron capis seen in position in Fig. 2. In Fig.

6 I have shown the cap E constructed as quit-e 4o a large block andextended down over a reduced portion, t, of the standard and secured `inplace by a pin, n. Any other suitable means of securing the cap to thestandard may, however, be provided.

D is the opening in the last G, which fits on the pin B. O is theprojection which ts the slots b b of the cap and holds the last G in anydesired position.

The standard may be secured in any suitable way to a counter or bench,or may be set 5o up on its own bottom on the floor; and to give it abroader base, so that it will stand alone steadily, I may securebrackets E to the sides of the standard at the base, as seen in Fig. 1.

Having now described my invention.. what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, 1s-

l. In the herein-described device for repairing boots and shoes, thestandard A, provided with the iron cap E, and pin B, extending 6othrough the cap into the standard, in combination with the slotted lastG, substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth.

2. A device for manufacturing and repairing boots and shoes, consistingof the standard A, in combination with the iron cap E, provided with theslots b I), the raised flanges a a, the opening D, and the last G,provided with the slot D and the protuberance O, substantially as hereinshown and described, and for 7o the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony whereofI have signed my name to this specification, Ain thepresence of two 'subscribing witnesses, this 20th day of October, 'A. D.1S87.
